Sink Repair Services in McMinnville
Depending on the material, sinks can last for 15 to 30 years. If your sink is a few decades old or you’re thinking about selling your house, consider upgrading to a newer model. A new sink reduces the need for repairs and increases your property value.
Watch out for these signs that you need a new sink:
- Rusty tap
- Significant damage
- Frequent leaks or clogs
- Mold growth
- Outdated appearance
- Low water pressure
If you have hard water, minerals gradually build up on the tap, creating an eyesore and limiting the flow. Rust can also gather on the tap and eventually contaminate the rest of your sink. While rust eats away at the surface, it also pollutes your water. Ingesting large quantities may cause iron poisoning.
Sinks accumulate small cracks and chips over time. Eventually, the chips detract from the sink’s appearance and encourage leaks and water damage. If a major crack forms, we recommend getting a replacement. Severe damage may compromise the structural integrity.
Every sink has occasional issues, but if you’re frequently calling Woodward Heating Air Plumbing for repairs, your pipes might have significant damage. Years of wear and tear result in corrosion, decay, leaks and mineral buildup. Sometimes, sink replacement is safer and more cost-efficient because you’ll replace your old plumbing with clean, modern pipes.
Mold tends to develop in small, damp areas around your sink. As the growth spreads, mold can contaminate your pipes, walls, floors and cabinets, exposing your family to spores. Rashes, confusion, fatigue, red eyes, congestion and body aches are signs that you’re dealing with mold growth, especially if the symptoms ease when you leave your house.
If you have a mold infestation in your entire sink, Woodward Heating Air Plumbing can remove the contaminated appliance and install a new one. We’ll also take care of water leaks that contributed to the growth.
Our plumbers repair sinks if you don’t need a full replacement as well. We might insert a small camera into your pipes to find the leak or clog, then use professional tools to remove the blockage without damaging your pipes. We also treat dripping faucets, sewage backup, slow-moving drains and other common issues.
